On Monday September 13th , pregnantistas will be able to score big time maternity names like NOM, Maternal America, Noppies, Chaiken and Ingrid & Isabel at  fraction ofthe retail cost. I worked with GILT to style looks for the PREGNANCY GLAMOUR by AMY TARA KOCH sale by mixing and matching accessories and layering pieces from Missoni, BCBG, Lutz and Patmos from their non maternity sales. The result? Killer looks for pregnancy with pieces that will have a life long after you deliver. Register for the sale  www.gilt.com/bumpitup.

Here are some of the pieces that will be offered:

PEPPY OFFICE PREGGO: Maternal America dress, Chaiken tux jacket, Miriam Salat ring, Mia Bossi bag

NOM tunic, BCBG bag, Alex and Ani rings, Miguel Ases cuffs

To pregnant women, the thought of looking dumpy during pregnancy is unwelcome. But, having to spend the big bucks on clothing with a nine month shelf life is downright disturbing. So, when the GILT GROUPE asked me to curate a sale which brought the elements of my book BUMP IT UP to life with the creme de la creme of maternity duds, I jumped at the chance. I worked with my pal Jennifer Strom Simonte of Bellydance Maternity to score maternity must haves from Maternal America, Chaiken, NOM, Paige, Noppies and Ingrid & Isabel. Then, I mixed and matched them-based on sketches from my book-to create multi-tasking looks for every occasion. Next Monday September 13th, the PREGNANCY GLAMOUR BY AMY TARA KOCH SALE on www.gilt.com will fulfill that pregnant woman fantasy: Big style on a dime. The best part? Most of these pieces will work during and after pregnancy!
